tool/OxC - replace prettier with oxfmt from OxC

[abiramcodes]

Replace Prettier with oxfmt

Swaps Prettier for oxfmt (from the Oxc project) as the repo formatter.

Why

• Faster: written in Rust and multi-threaded. A full check of the repo (~250 files) finishes in under a second.
• Fits the toolchain: Oxc is the same ecosystem behind Vite's Rolldown/Oxc stack, so formatting sits alongside the rest of the tooling.

Changes

• Fixed duplicate peerDependencies / peerDependenciesMeta keys in packages/ng-devtools/package.json

Note

• .md, .html are prettier backed as per the oxfmt docs https://oxc.rs/docs/guide/usage/formatter/language-support.html#prettier-backed, other file formats are covered by default.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated the project’s code-formatting setup and checks to use Oxfmt, with consistent formatting rules.
  • Updated editor settings to use Oxfmt as the default formatter and format files on save. Added Oxfmt to the recommended editor extensions.

CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The repository replaces Prettier configuration and formatting scripts with Oxfmt. VS Code settings select the Oxfmt formatter and enable format-on-save. Three existing type declarations are reformatted without changing their values or shapes.

Changes

Formatter migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Replace Prettier setup with Oxfmt .oxfmtrc.json, .prettierignore, .prettierrc, package.json, .vscode/extensions.json, .vscode/settings.json	Oxfmt configuration sets a print width of 100, uses single quotes, and defines ignore patterns. The Prettier configuration files are removed, formatting scripts and the development dependency switch to Oxfmt, and VS Code recommends and selects the Oxfmt formatter with format-on-save enabled.
Reformat existing type declarations packages/ng-devtools/src/forms-read.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/overlay.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/router.ts	The ErrorSource, push-router response, and NavigationOutcome declarations are split across multiple lines. Their members and shapes remain unchanged.

Review details

Systems and components

• observed — packages/ng-devtools (library) was modified; 3 changed files map to changed impact.
• observed — package.json (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in packages/ng-devtools/src/forms-read.ts: ErrorSource retains the same union members; its declaration is reformatted across multiple lines.
• observed — Modified behavior in packages/ng-devtools/src/overlay.ts: The push-router response type is split across lines; the optional hasConfig property and undefined alternative are unchanged.
• observed — Modified behavior in packages/ng-devtools/src/router.ts: Reformatted the existing NavigationOutcome union into one member per line; its six outcome values are unchanged.
• observed — Modified behavior in package.json: The formatting scripts now invoke oxfmt and oxfmt --check instead of Prettier with write and check flags.

Agent:

1. File coverage: Prettier also checked .md, .scss, .yml and .html. Which of these does oxfmt --check cover? If some aren't supported yet, worth listing in the PR.
2. Angular templates: the old config parsed .html with Prettier's Angular parser. Does oxfmt handle @if/@for in .html files, or skip them?
3. Pin the version: oxfmt is 0.x, so a minor bump can change output and break CI. "oxfmt": "0.71.0" or "~0.71.0".
4. Editor setup: add the Oxc VS Code extension to .vscode/extensions.json (and format on save in .vscode/settings.json) so editors don't fall back to Prettier.
5. The duplicate peerDependencies fix is a separate change, worth its own commit or a mention in the title.

1. .md, .html are prettier backed as per the oxfmt docs https://oxc.rs/docs/guide/usage/formatter/language-support.html#prettier-backed, other file formats are covered by default.

2. Currently the @if/@for/@switch/@ else are skipped in the .component.html / .html file but inline templates inside the .ts files are formatted correctly. (there is already a PR opened for this .html file formatting --> feat(oxfmt): route files by language via overrides[].language oxc-project/oxc#26257)

3 & 4. I will update the push the changes.
5. I will raise the a new PR

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep an Angular-aware formatter for inline templates.

The application stores many Angular templates with @if, @for, and @switch inside TypeScript template: \`` literals. Oxfmt’s TypeScript parser does not route these literals through its Angular parser, so oxfmt --check` can miss formatting changes inside them. Keep the previous Prettier path, including its Angular configuration, or add an equivalent Angular-aware check before removing Prettier.

AGENT: Verdict: close for now. On a repo this size the speed gain is small, and oxfmt still has gaps this repo relies on. Worth revisiting once oxfmt formats Angular control flow in .html.

1. .oxfmtrc.json / package.json:16-17: you confirmed that @if/@for in .html files are skipped. Main has control flow in src/app/app.html:31, which Prettier's Angular parser formats today. Switching now means that file quietly stops being checked by format:check.
2. Main is an Nx workspace now (nx.json, project.json, @nx/workspace). Nx generators run formatFiles(), and nx format:check / nx format:write both go through Prettier. If we remove Prettier, generated files come out unformatted, and the Nx format commands stop working. Keeping both tools installed would mean two formatters with two configs.
3. The speed win is real, but prettier --check . over this repo already takes a few seconds in CI, next to a multi-minute build. That doesn't outweigh points 1 and 2 yet.
4. If you pick this up again later: main's .prettierignore now also lists pnpm-lock.yaml, and .oxfmtrc.json:6-12 would need it too. Main's .vscode/extensions.json also added nrwl.angular-console, so keep that next to the Oxc extension. Please also run pnpm format on the rebased tree and include the resulting diff, so reviewers can see the real churn (main now has examples/analog too). And .vscode/settings.json turning on formatOnSave for everyone is a separate choice. I'd leave it out of a tooling swap.

Needs a rebase onto main.

Understood, closing the PR for now, will keep an eye oxfmt's native support.
